>Two observations: This "module-level" code that does the testing will be run when the module is imported. A more flexible approach would be to place it in a test() function and call it whenever you desire. The test() function could even be a method of the class, if it makes sense to do that. If you had a lot of classes, and each needed its own demo/test function, for instance. If they all worked together, maybe one test function for all would suffice. If you start to collect a lot of modules, you will probably want to organize them into directories. It is a hassle to append stuff to sys.path every time you start python, so you may want to consider setting up .pth files.
